Question

I have this method that I want to run a php file using ajax and then reload the page.

function winA() 
{
var x = "<?php echo $id;?>"
$.ajax({ url: 'w.php5' ,
         data: { id: x },
         success: function(data) {
                   window.location.reload()
                }
 }); 
}

This is what I have and I’ve looked it over endless times for flaws, made sure the php variable is reading properly and made sure the function is truly being called. The php file works properly when called w.php5?id=1

Why won’t this ajax call work?

Thanks in advance for the help, Aaron.

Answer 1

function winA() 
{
var x = "<?php echo $id;?>"
$.ajax({ url: 'w.php5' ,
         data: { id: x },
         success: function(data) {
                   window.location.reload()
                }
         error:function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError)
         { 
             alert(xhr.status); 
             alert(thrownError); 
         }
 }); 
}

This way it will show alert in case of ajax error

Also, if in chrome, press the combination Ctrl+Shift+I for developer tools and check network tab to see if w.php5 is called, and what is the response. Dont know tools for other browser but there should be something like that
